Downtown Jersey City

Downtown Jersey City is a neighborhood of Jersey City, New Jersey. Historic Downtown consisted of mostly low-rise buildings to the west of the waterfront, and its Van Vorst and Hamilton Parks were surrounded by brownstones. The Grove Street neighborhood was developed and turned into a center of stores and restaurants, while a number of new housing was built around the PATH station. The Waterfront, once an industrial sector, later became a destination for businesses, restaurants, and tourists due to the addition of light rail and more ferry service. Downtown Jersey City was gentrified during the 21st century, with high-rise towers being built.
